This bumper pack, featuring a book of music and no less than six CDs of tuition, provides a comprehensive grounding in fingerstyle guitar. Written by celebrated tutor Happy Traum, the audio course provides a step-by-step guide to blues, ragtime and country playing, giving you the chance to master the techniques of the great fingerstyle tradition. Discover the key elements of the styles of Mississippi John Hurt, Merle Travis and Doc Watson, and learn some of the innovations introduced by more modern players including Dave Van Ronk and Bert Jansch.
